Full Attention

When we first met, it was kind of awful.

It was awkward and ill-timed. Perhaps too soon.

The anticipation of meeting you almost overtook me.

And then your attention and affections were elsewhere. Eyes jetting to and fro, but never truly on mine.

And I was present, but you were somewhere else.

I expected so much more, and that may have been the problem.

But first impressions are quite something.

Wisdom's Knocking: 

"Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity."

- Simon Weil
